WASHINGTON CRITIC
WASHINGTON, AUGUST 81, 1857.
THE DEATH OF AUGUST.

Across the dsety road the trees
Their cool, dark shadows throw,
And down 10 sunny fields the breeze
Bends brighteyed daisies low.
Upon the pointed maple leaves
A ruddy tinge Is coming;
The tangled fern is russet, where
Gold.girdled bees are hummlng.
Along the early apples cheek
A tender blush Is growing;
On bank and hillside In the sun
The golden.rod Is glowing.
Above the tired earth's throbbing heat
A hszy veil Is lying;
IT'S sultry Augusta winding sheet
Another month is dying.
Her race 10 nearly run-she 1les
Toward sunsets golden ember.
With quick. drawn breath che hurries on
Hard pressed by swift September.
The goal is won, the sun has set,
By fiery clouds attended;
And August, warm and passionate
Last summer month-is ended.

Charleston NewS and Courier: Fitz-
hugh Lee has made a fine impression
upon the people of the great Northwest.
In his speech before the 'Possum Club
of St. Paul, MINI, the other night he
made ten-strike when he declared
that if the people of this country had
known each other better the War might
have been averted. The War accom-
pl she'd one good result, however. when
it taught the people Of the United States
that whether they live in Massachusetts
or Minnesota, South Carolina or Cali
fornia. they are the same people af$cr
all. and must ever have hereafter one
flag, one country, and one destiny.
Since the day that the Boston Tigers
paraded the streets of Charleston and
the Washington Light Infantry march
ed i'm the Centennial Legion at Phila-
delphia, more then ten years ago. the
new South and the new North have
been drawing always closer and closer
together. and the cordial reception of
the gallant cavalryman in the far
Northwest only serves to show bow
perfect is the new and never again to
be divided Union.
